With rain clouds looming and the forecast calling for several days of downpour, West Sacramento is taking steps to ensure its residents are not left sodden and scrambling. The city has started providing sand and bags at a designated pickup location at 2895 Industrial Blvd, near the entrance to the Port of West Sacramento. It’s a self-service situation; bags are available at the guard shack, yet locals are reminded to bring their own shovels. This was reported by the City of West Sacramento's announcement.
The proactive stance extends beyond just offering materials; the West Sacramento Emergency Operations Division is vigilantly monitoring river levels and conducting levee patrols to ward off any potential flood threats. In addition, City Public Works crews are on standby, ready to address any storm-related issues that might arise.
Residents are being called upon to play a role in the citywide safety efforts. Should storm issues such as flooded streets, clogged storm drains, or downed trees occur, the city is urging the community to report them. A non-emergency dispatch line is open at 916-372-3375. Additionally, there's the West Sac Connect app, which serves as a digital lifeline for residents to relay their concerns. Information on how to contact the city services was highlighted in the official city announcement.
